what clear one are you referring to?

your overflow bottle? just fill that with distilled water.

distilled water won't promote electrolysis, and won't corrode the jackets on your motor.

Can do 'but you fill it to the line on the side of the bottle, not to the top'. I'ed still recommend mixing in coolant with it.

If you're using an airconditioner at home, stick a bucket under it to catch the water from that, or alternately use rain water 'which has been a bit scarse lately '.

edit: you may find a pleasant suprise 'all over your engine bay', if you overfill the overflow bottle, or shit yourself thinking your radiatior has exploded, either way pic's please
